All of these GPS apps suck a lot of battery, especially when using Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi at the same time. I have seen the battery go down as much as 20%
per hour using Navigon and also on the Seeing Eye GPS app.

I have the Garmin Glo receiver and will do a test soon to compare battery
drain with and without this external receiver. If anyone has another
receiver or the Garmin, please test as well. This will be valuable feedback
for folks.

Many of us have back-up batteries because of this and other apps that
necessitate extra power for power users.
